If President Trump was hoping for a little peace and quiet with his family at Mar-a-Lago (aka the “winter White House”), chanting protesters across the street from the swanky Florida resort saw to it that did not happen. Saturday night, upwards of 3,000 anti-Trump activists marched from Trump Plaza, along the Intracoastal Waterway with several hundred protesters planting themselves at the bridge across from Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach Post reports. Armed with signs, drums, glow sticks and lungs prepared for shouting, they chanted in rhythm: “Hey-hey, ho-ho, Donald Trump has got to go.” “This is what democracy looks like.” “No hate! No fear!

It’s going to be impossible to gauge exactly how many people showed up for the hundreds of women’s marches that were held across the world on Saturday. But aerials views shared to social media help grasp just how expansive the protest efforts were.

Their signature event was the Women’s March on Washington, D.C., where than 500,000 people were expected to participate.

From Ferguson, Missouri to Hong Kong, 2014 has been a tumultuous year of protests against unfairness and brutality. While some of the issues still haven’t been resolved—Mike Brown’s murderer still hasn’t been charged and forty-three missing Mexican students still haven’t been found—these protestors made the world pay attention to injustice. Here is a list of documentaries, from Brother Outsider to The Weather Underground and stopping along the way at This Is What Democracy Looks Like, Berkeley in the Sixties and The Sixth Side of the Pentagon, that not only support the act of protest, but highlight the importance of resistance as the catalyst of change.>> - Alece Oxendine...

Despite the presence of some Occupy agitators, nobody shouts "This is what democracy looks like!" in the irresistible politicians-meet-the-people documentary Caucus, probably because to do so would be to risk inviting despair. Aj Schnack's film follows one of the great humiliations of American life: the slow, soiling ritual of presidential hopefuls pressing the flesh in preparation for the Iowa Caucus — and often discovering that much of that flesh has already been pressed, persuasively, by some other candidate the week before.
